The new flexible seating options have given students the comfort and confidence to engage more fully in our daily routines.\r\n\r\nWe've integrated the floor chairs into several areas of our classroom, including our reading corner, small group workstations, and morning meeting area. These chairs provide the support some students need to participate in activities that were previously difficult for them.\r\n\r\nOne moment that truly stood out was during our morning meeting. A student who typically remained seated at her desk due to mobility issues chose to use one of the new floor chairs and came down to join us on the rug for the very first time. It was a small moment with a big impact, she was able to be part of the circle, contribute to our discussion, and feel included in a way she hadn't before. Seeing her smile and connect with her peers was incredibly moving.\r\n\r\nYour support has done so much more than provide seating it has helped build community, inclusion, and confidence.
